I second that. I have witnessed many people that have tried your approach on various makes/models but it always ends up the same. Once the noise is there the damage is already done.
Now if you were to drill into a new joint and adapt a grease zerk you would want to pack the flutes of the drill with grease in order to capture the tailings. Most grease zerks are self-tapping, so once the hole is made you'd be home free.
